Love Island, Towie and Hollyoaks stars confirmed as new Dancing On Ice contestants
A LOVE Islander, a Towie star and a Hollyoaks actress have signed up for Dancing On Ice.
The trio were revealed on Heart Radio today, with Hollyoaks legend Chelsee Healey telling listeners: “I’m ready, lets go!”
Chelsee, 36, is also a contestant on the current series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins but is now set to swap her camping boots for a pair of ice skates after joining ITV’s primetime winter hit.
It comes after she recently took time away from her role as Goldie McQueen to give birth to her second daughter Cooki.
Chelsee first appeared on Hollyoaks in 2008 as a guest of a woman called Michelle.
She then joined as a regular role, playing McQueen legend Goldie in 2016.
But she recently dropped a huge hint she has been axed from the show after a recent cull of cast members.
The decisions have sparked fury among the cast backstage after Stephanie Waring, famed for her 28-year-long role as Cindy Cunningham, confirmed that soap bosses had axed her as part of the 20-person strong cast cull.
The mum-of-two has signed up alongside an EastEnders legend, a Traitors finalist, a Corrie favourite, Sir Steve Redgrave, a Towie star and a comedian in the line-up.
LOVE ISLAND SIGNING
Love Island legend Chris Taylor, 34, told Heart Radio today he is “terrified” of the rink.
He added: “I’m somewhere between absolutely terrified and excited, flitting between the two quite aggressively as well.”
The star shot to fame when he entered the Love Island villa in 2019 and later dated his co-star Maura Higgins.
Chris returned to the villa this year in All Stars and then bagged a presenting gig on the show’s podcast.
The bachelor was most recently on TV in Celebs Go Dating.
SECOND TOWIE STAR SIGNS
The Sun prevously revealed Dan Edgar, 34, had signed up alongside his former co-star Ferne McCann.
Towie hunk Dan, 34, has been at the centre of Towie’s biggest love triangle in recent years after joining the hit ITVbe show in 2015
He told Heart Radio’s Ashley Roberts: “You see I like to think I’m a good skater, but I’m a terrible dancer.”
